After 6 years on the Editorial Team as an Associate and General Editor, Bill Harley ended his term as General Editor with the close of 2015. We will miss his support, good humour, and commitment to high editorial standards. We would also like to recognise his contribution to JMS as one of the founders of the new JMS-Says section, into which he has invested a lot of effort. We will very much miss working with him but wish him all the best for the future.
